← ScienceWhich mechanism prevents secure key transfer via entangled photons across noisy quantum communication channels?
A)Quantum decoherence destroys entanglement✓
B)Photon polarization is inherently unstable
C)Refractive index fluctuates randomly
D)Rayleigh scattering scrambles photon paths
💡 Explanation
Quantum decoherence destroys entanglement because unwanted environmental interaction collapses the shared quantum states. Therefore, the shared keys cannot be reliably transmitted, rather than unstable polarization, which could at least be corrected for.
